-How's school my boy?
-Better than expected mother. I've started to getting use to it.
-Good, hope you're doing well in classes.
-Don't worry, everything is fine. How are you doing without me out there?
-Despite the missing part, not much. I'm doing domestic business and your brother doesn't make it easy. He's even messier than you.
-Haha, you're going to hanker for me i bet. What's father doing?
-We're in a downswing as the other people around and he's trying hard to keep our lifestyle alive. I think we're going to need to change a little bit.
-Do i need to do anything?
-No, no. You don't need to do anything at all. Just focus on your exams and call me every day! That's enough.
-I could miss the second part.
-I'll slap you if don't.

Yavuz was talking to his mother every day. Recent events made it hard to have conversations since he still has broken ribs. Yet he's finding some peace when talking to his mother. There wasn't no any Serkan or coward principal or mandatory poker face. Everything was familiar subjects and the safe tone of his mother.

1 month passed since he discharged from hospital. His broken ribs were only giving him a slight ache when he turns on his left while sleeping. No other health issue for him. And the life is a lot of easier comparing the beginning. Actually, if someone would have asked him "you are going to be beaten in exchange of a good repoputation and easier school life", he would probably accept this proposal. And that's what exactly happened until now.

He attended all of the classes so far. He was feeling the pressure of incoming exams. Mid-school passed smoothly for him since he's one of a few clever children at the school. But nearly everyone was brilliant out here. Everyone was quick learner and had a good memory. Yavuz was feeling that he should study harder to pass the exams because of these.

He was getting along with the feeling of being famous. And the students also get used to him. Everyone in the school in a good shape against each other and prepare themselves for incoming exams. Yavuz was studying hard and lack of distractions made study easy. Sometimes Serkan's presence pop-out on his mind but he didn't dwelled on it. He was going to forgot about him if didn't see him occasionally at the hall.

Serkan was honed for Yavuz as long as he become peaceful. Yavuz was dropping his guard down and that was serving Serkan's purpose. His 5 man gang was preparing the plan of steal the exam questions but nothing was going straight. First, they were still couldn't find any solution to plant the questions in the locker without getting noticed by anyone. Even anybody doesn't see them, they didn't know how to opne the locker and leave it as it was.

-We should find a picklock from somewhere.
-Come on Serkan, how could we? We are just highschool students. I don't want to get involved with the cops.
-Don't be a pussy. Of course we are going to find this picklock from someone trusted.
-Someone trusted with a picklock? Doesn't seem legit man.
-Look, we have to plant that questions in the bastards locker. We don't have any other choise but to pick his locker.
-Or maybe we could use some distraction.
-How?
-When he put his books inside, you would turn from the corner and face him.
-That is not a good idea. Do you want me to fight with him again? That would be my doom.
-Nah man, you are going to distract him. You may say sorry or invite him over to somewhere. That's up to you.
-And someone plants the questions in the locker. Brilliant!
-We could avoind from involving the cops that way. And the trusted thieves of course.

They were finally found the way of planting the questions into the locker. They didn't know how to steal them though. Yet Serkan had an idea about the matter. School retainer, Ali, was a heavy sleeper. If they infiltrate into his lodgement, they could steal the teacher's office's key. They would have enough time to steal the questions and put the keys back Ali's lodgement.

Serkan was preparing for the great war despit Yavuz's peaceful attitude. Yavuz was thinking that he's already won the battle and ready to lower his guard down. But Serkan well-known about steppe code. According steppe code, if two man fights against each other, one of them should die. That's the rule of this scool and it will be. Yavuz didn't aware of it and it will possibly be too late until he noticed.

Future was seem full of pain and agony for Yavuz.
